timmmm / robocut Goto Github PK

Hi Timmmm,

Thanks for Robocut! I'm still using it with a Craft Robo (very occasionally) and today I found out you have a new branch almost ready to merge. So I thought I'd build it. Ive checked out develop. The instructions say install qt6 and libusb-1.0, which I have done. And then run qmake and make.

It looks like I need to use qmake6, but when I do that, in the root of the repo, it doesn't do anything and prints its usage message:

Usage: qmake6 [mode] [options] [files]

QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project
...

So what might I be missing here? Thanks

Hello, I just got an old Graphtec CC200-20 and I compiled your latest branch.

Unfortunately, each time I was requesting to cut, I got an error.
I looked a bit in the code and I commented this part:

	e = UsbSend(handle, "FE0\x03"); // No idea what this does.
	if (!e)
		return e;

	e = UsbSend(handle, "TB71\x03"); // Again, no idea. Maybe something to do with registration marks?
	if (!e)
		return e;

	sr = UsbReceive(handle, 10000); // Allow 10s. Seems reasonable.
	if (!sr)
		return e;

	resp = sr.unwrap();

Then, there was no error anymore and the cutting is working perfectly.

I do not know how to make it dependent from my model. For the moment, I just disabled this code. Maybe there is a command to get a model descriptor (a bit like getting the Firmware version), but I do not know the command.

At least, if it can help you to improve your nice tool, I would be glad to help and contribute.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Could Robocut be packaged and published as a flatpack on Flathub, so it becomes distro-agnostic?

Hello! I have searched for a tool that can replace the software for a silouette portrait. Yours seems fitting!

However, while trying it out it started cutting "from the bottom". I have no fitting sheets, so robocut "pulls in" a full sheet, and therefore dispensing the sheet altogether. When now trying to cut, the vinyl is missing.

Is it possible to invert the cutting direction, eg. inserting the sheet and starting to cut in the top left corner instead of bottom right?

Hi again. I've been cutting all weekend but I can't get reg marks to work properly.
when I open the reg marks files in examples, Inkscape tells me they were created before v0.91 and I have to make a choice about how to convert them from 90dpi to 96 dpi. I've tried all options. I also tried making my own reg marks in a new Inkscape doc at exactly 180x240mm which is what Robocut is looking for by default. The cutter (Graphtec Craft Robo CC 330-20) locates the reg marks okay but then cuts out a shape that is to big by 1.066. That's the same ratio as 96:96. I don't understand how this can happen after the plotter just located all 3 reg marks. Does Robocut have a built-in assumption about 90dpi that's making it send too big paths to the cutter, or something?

Good afternoon I put your program and it works great on win 10 with the winusb driver.... Tell me how you can start cutting with this program https://github.com/Jeinzi/SMTCut on win 10 64? All options that are given previously do not work and it is not possible to run it fully bypassing the win buffer

Please add an option to change page orientation to landscape. Version 2.0.0.beta0 always cuts in portrait mode.

Hi I'm running Ubuntu 23.10. when i try and run robocut from the terminal. at first it runs fine and then comes up with Segmentation fault (core dumped) and crashes. is this a known fault? ive not been able to find it.
